Sorry to sound negative all, Im a realist and 422 flying again is just such a long way off, its not worth thinking about, yes they might do it, but it aint thunder city and dosent have Mike Beechyheads money, and thats what it takes to fly Lightnings/lightning

Get out to Cape Town and get a trip, soon

[Saracenman]

that's exactly what i expected to be honest 320 - all that you've always said about spares availability - particularly with 99.9% of useful kit going to SA

i genuinely hope that they DO succeed, but i don't see how they can for all the reasons you mentioned

Can't seem to find a YT video of a twilight or any other static run with both after burners lit ..... do they ever get lit together or is it too much for the brakes

[Bovril]

Thanks for the clips and well done Andy and the rest of LPG. You don't know how much I wish I could have been there.

[Gaz]

Hey look! I'm on that clip too!

[Wedgy]

Andy,

Saw your beloved pair and the shed today for the first time in the flesh ....

....Impressive

..... the word doesnt do it justice - fantastic building, fantastic machines

The smell of aviation fuel was a nice touch, will certainly remember that

Pics to follow when I get home

[Mackrick]

Photos did someone mention photos

[Wedgy]

Very little in the pans
Certainly nothing compared to seeing VC10s GUSHING every fluid they possess

BTW I passed her again on the A1 yesterday, and it makes me so angry. Is somebody going to put the old girl out of her misery, and mine. The greenery was getting very large.

[RLN]

Thankyou sir

Whilst stooging around on YT for some stuff to add to another thread re Gazelle choppers I found this .......



This bloke up north somewhere has his own private Gazelle and they landed in this blokes garden to look at his Lightning

This guy http://www.youtube.com/user/jettech7 is the Gazelle owners 'mate' and there's some brilliant little videos on there of Gazelle start ups etc ... but this Lightning one took me by surprise

That's a good find - just sky plussed it ..... it's easily missed on an obscure channel like that

[Saracenman]

all these wonderful programmes i can't see!

[Stigish]
